3 The Genesis of Aboriginal Health Access Centres In 1994, the Province of Ontario initiated the Aboriginal Healing and Wellness Strategy (AHWS) to promote healing and health among Aboriginal 1 people as a commitment to address the alarmingly poor health and high incidence of family violence resulting from colonialism. Prior to colonization, the first peoples of this place now called Canada had a good life thanks to their interdependent relationship with the land and their ways of knowing and doing. For many Aboriginal communities in the province, healing has meant recovering from the complex impacts of colonization which have adversely affected the lives of Aboriginal peoples for many generations. Wellness refers to maintaining and enhancing the health and wellbeing of individuals, families, communities, as well as nations. One of the pillars of AHWS was the creation of the Aboriginal Health Access Centres (AHACs), with the objective of providing culturally-appropriate health care and an emphasis on tradition, healing, wellness, and delivering quality and culturally relevant health care. The healing and wellness sought by many Aboriginal people is about returning to traditional spiritual values and knowledge that promotes selfdetermination. AHACs play a central role in this process. The programs and services AHWS relied on two key concepts: healing and wellness. designed and delivered by Aboriginal people for Aboriginal people in these centres are aimed at healing intergenerational trauma by fostering healthy individuals, families and communities. 1 The term Aboriginal includes Métis, Inuit and First Nations, regardless of where they live in Canada and whether they are registered under the Indian Act Aboriginal Health Access Centres Report 3

4 Introduction to the AHACs Ontario s ten Aboriginal Health Access Centres were founded to address the impacts of colonization and inter-generational trauma and play a powerful role in the healing, health and wellbeing of Aboriginal peoples in Ontario. Unique in Canada and made in Ontario, AHACs are community-led, primary health care organizations. They provide a comprehensive array of health and social services to Aboriginal peoples across the province. These services include: primary care, traditional healing, mental wellness, cultural programs, health promotion programs, community development initiatives and social support services. AHACs approach health and wellbeing in a wholistic way, providing not only clinical services, but also community designed teachings, languages, medicines and ceremonies. For AHACs, culture is treatment. Through this approach, AHACs have earned trust and credibility in the communities they serve. Because of increasing demand for services and programs, the AHACs grew from By 2005, it was clear that the demand for services outpaced funding levels. Continuing to the present day, wait lists grow and centres struggle. The core health funding inequities AHACs face in relation to their Community Health Centre (CHC) counterparts are crippling. Some progress has been made toward funding parity as the result of rigorous advocacy over many years. However, major inequities continue and funding parity is crucial for the AHACs success. Despite these challenges, AHACs reconnect Aboriginal peoples with the practices, sense of community and cultures that were taken away through the course of centuries. AHACs are community health spaces that offer a sense of belonging. As spaces of respect, truth, humility, honesty, courage, love and wisdom, AHACs are making a difference to healing, health and wellbeing among Aboriginal communities across Ontario. AHACs recognize the need to expand Aboriginal health in the province of Ontario. The AHACs work in parallel to the collective efforts of the grass roots people, leaders and health custodians in their efforts to gain equitable access to health care, respectful of cultural inclusion. Health care services for Aboriginal people must be planned, designed and developed by Aboriginal people and be available in locations identified by First Nation/Aboriginal communities. These programs and services must respect, accept and incorporate Aboriginal values and beliefs and must be flexible in order to support culturally-specific approaches to community health...

8 North Administration West Primary Care Core Individuals & Families East Traditional The AHAC Framework South Community Programs AHACs operate from a wholistic Aboriginal health framework. Recognizing Aboriginal rights to selfdetermination in health, the framework focuses on the restoration and rebalancing of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of Aboriginal peoples, families, communities and nations. With individuals and families at the centre, the framework incorporates Aboriginal traditional healers and healing approaches, prevention and promotion community programs, culturally safe primary care, and effective administration and community governance. Due to its vital importance, mental wellness is addressed in many quadrants, including traditional, community programs and primary care. Through this framework, AHACs strive to address the comprehensive continuum of care from promotion and prevention to treatment and rehabilitation, through all the stages of life from pre-natal to elder. The framework also recognizes the importance of the interconnectedness of people, nature and the spirit world. Culture surrounds all that AHACs do. In the following pages, you will find more information about the work that AHACs do following the four cardinal points of the medicine wheel. Cultural practice is key, as reflected through the teachings of the medicine wheel and the four directions of creation Aboriginal Health Access Centres Report

14 What AHAC clients are saying about service quality, service coordination and culture in these organizations. North Administration Very genuine, kind, and caring.
